For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $61,727 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $62,755 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $62,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $63,067.0 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $65,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $64,094.
Failure to move through the $61,727 pivot would bring the first major support level at $60,388 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$59,000 levels, however. The second major support level at $59,360 should limit the downside.
